    People seem to forget, MArgaritos uppercut is his biggest strength, and his biggest weakness as well..

    He tends to get frustrated and start throwing it from WAY outside, leaving himself to get pciked off easily, if you wanna see a great example of him doing this, watch the Clottey fight.. (Who i beleive would whoop his ass in a rematch)

Hell no don't be stupid .. cotto would be stupid to try and KO margarito point win yes KO not a chance in hell. IMO

    You'll note I said "stoppage". Margo's prone to cuts and swellings in the past, and, against a fighter like Cotto (who hits hard enough to bust up pretty much anyone he fights), I think that means he'll suffer some injuries to his face if they do meet in the ring. And, that could certainly lead to an inside-the-distance victory...especially if Margo's shipping heavy punishment.

    Also, Margo's been dropped, and wobbled before. If he runs into something big from Cotto, he might very easily get hurt. I'm not necessarily saying that it will happen...but, a hard-punching fighter like Cotto is a threat to stop anyone if he inflicts enough punishment.

    Has he really? I've heard people claim he's never been down and never been seriously hurt for that matter...

    Yeah, I noticed improvement on his technique. His punches are tighter and str8er. I think Cotto is great, but Williams/Margarito and possibly Cintron can beat him.

    Danny Perez.

    Margo also wobbled after eating a Santos counter in the rematch.

    The Santos fight was a thriller...Daniel weighed on fight night 177 lbs. and Marg was like 155.

    With the way these guys fight I'd have to favor Margarito. Cotto won't be able to box and keep him at bay like Sugar Shane. Going toe to toe with the bigger and more active puncher could take its toll on the smaller and younger champ.

    Cotto is the better fighter but styles make fights and I think Margo may stop Cotto.

    You sure Margo was only 155 that night? He's usually close to 160 even at Welterweight?

    Well I'm seeing it the other way around . . . not unless Arum can come up with Team Cotto's demand.

    Team Cotto said . . . Cotto will fight Margarito if the money is the same in fighting PBF, Hatton or DLH.

    So it's more likely that Cotto will fight the winner of Williams/Cintron tussle. :yep
